Hello,
Elogd crashing when "Resubmit as new entry" is executed.
Tried with demo config, same result, also tried with snapshot version.
After the first crash i restart elogd, then it crashes every time i enter 
the logbook containing the entry i tried to "Resubmit as new entry"
Anyone seen same behavior, on win2000 platform ?.

I fixed this problem, was a stack overflow. New snapshot is available.

Hi, 
I also have this problem, when a non admin user logs in he does not have access to
the config file but if he logs out he can then access the config file as non logged
user.
I also tried to upgrade to version 2.5.3 but running under this version does not ask
for passwords so I reverted to 2.5.2.

Besides these few details, your software is great !

Thank you,

Alexandre

If he logs out, how can he access a logbook at all? He should be presented a login
screen, nothing else...

Better first let's fix this problem. Under what circumstances does 2.5.3 not ask for
passwords? Maybe you can get the newest version from CVS (see download page) and try
again, I had problems when using the -DHAVE_CRYPT functionality, but I guess you did not
have that, do you?

So once you tried the latest snapshot, and still have problems, describe them carefully,
send me your configuration file, and I will have a look.

An options list that starts with a double-quotes character (") is handled 
incorrectly. 

Try the line: 
Options Student name  = "Doe, John", "Foo, Bar".

The ELOG list will have four entries, namely:
 - Doe
 - John
 - "
 - Foo, Bar

I fixed this bug. Please obtain the newest snapshot (see download page).

Hi, 

I was just searching your online discussion forum for entries with the 
word 'password' in the subject. I noticed that the 'Full' option in 
the 'full/summary/threaded' line displays the results of all entries in the 
logbook, and not only the entries with the word 'password' in the subject.

I think there is an error in the URL, because when looking for the word 
password in the subject, the URL for the 'Full' option is:
http://midas.psi.ch/elogs/Forum/page1?mode=full&reve&npp=8&Subject=password

If I change the word 'reve' in this URL to 'reversed=1', the results are 
correct
